Cochlear implant for children with hearing loss in one ear
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a cochlear implant helps children aged 4 to 6 years who have hearing loss in only one ear (or one ear with severe loss and the other with mild loss) improve their hearing and communication. The device is surgically placed in the ear with worse hearing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 6 years old when joining the study.
- They must use spoken French as their main way to communicate.
- Hearing loss must be in one ear only (severe to profound) with the other ear having normal or only mild hearing loss.
- Both parents or guardians must sign a consent form.
- Your child must have health insurance coverage through the French system.
- Your child cannot have severe brain or nerve problems, or certain inner ear malformations that would make surgery unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new bone-anchored hearing system called OSIA for children born with missing or incomplete outer ears (microtia or atresia). It aims to see if the implant works well on both sides for improving hearing.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery improves how well you hear speech in noisy environments. If you have severe hearing loss in both ears and are a candidate for a cochlear implant, this study may help show if the robotic method leads to better hearing outcomes.
This study looks at how parent support helps children who get cochlear implants very early, and how well their language develops. You may be able to join if your child meets the timing and hearing/implant requirements and you speak French at home.
This study tests a method to set cochlear implant sound levels using a small reflex in the ear. It may help doctors find the best sound settings for users aged 8-17.
This trial is studying whether a cochlear implant can help people who have very poor hearing in one ear but normal or mild hearing loss in the other ear. It uses hearing tests and speech understanding to see who may benefit and how well the device works.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
